After recent moves, Towergate Health & Protection has renamed to Towergate Employee Benefits.

As a whole-of-market adviser, with over 15,000 clients, Towergate Employee Benefits is one of the UK’s largest employee benefits advisers, and the new identity is a natural evolution, reflecting its newly expanded capabilities.

This is the next step in the company’s strategic growth, which will be followed by further development of its client propositions and investment in new hires to support the expansion.

Iain Laws, CEO of Towergate Employee Benefits, said: “These are exciting times, we’ve built strong foundations looking after our clients by offering award-winning service across our propositions through our talented team. We’re looking forward to expanding the value we can create for both our current and future clients across an even broader range of services to benefit employers and their people.”

This move follows the Towergate acquisition of Benefiz.

Benefiz was established to aid smaller employers offer benefits that are normally the reserve of larger firms.
